Vines said that the Greek word for "whosoever," which occurs more than a thousand times in the New Testament, carries the idea of "anyone, anywhere, anytime. Whosoever believes in Him is John's normal way of describing saving faith."

That he would emphasize this, as if any Calvinist would deny it, is a HUGE clue that he has no idea what he's talking about.

Which, normally, would be a bad thing.

Some argue that final justification is obtained by perseverance.

Name ONE.

Can’t wait until the John 6:44 Conference opens to help these fellows understand the “nutshell” that they ought to be looking for.

Perhaps, but that would mean that some Calvinists don't know what they are talking about either. I've had some tell me that the 'whosoever' there refers to a chosen group of people, not the whole world.

Of course, not truly understanding what is being taught by the faith isn't exclusive to any one group.

We all know the real question is WHO will come and WHY
